I am having an uwp app using password vault, so my credentials are stored under the Web credential in credential manager and we have a situation so i need to change the publisher id of the app because of this the app will be treated as new app so i planned to run a powershell script to copy data from old app sandbox to new App sand box
But the issue i am facing i can fetch windows credentials details but not the Web credentials. Is there any way to fetch web credentials using c# or even powershell script?

That is not something the browser easily allows access to. A quick search is telling me there is no API to request saved passwords from Chrome, at least.
